Fresh off the easel

Brief Bio

As someone who has never done very well following rules or ‘staying within the lines,’ I struggled finding an artistic medium that truly allowed me to freely explore and play. I instantly fell in love with encaustics and am always surprised to see where my pieces take me

The spontaneous nature of the wax allows me to let go of any intentions and really sink into the moment; and more importantly, to play! Encaustic art, for me, has been a strong catalyst to support community engagement and a powerful way to bring people together through a shared creative experience. My own work is inspired greatly by the rural Ontario landscape, and often incorporates repurposed materials and natural plants and fibres harvested straight from a local farm, garden, or forest.
